The CES Chorus and all grade levels recentlry held their annual Christmas programs. The chorus under the direction of Roxanne Simpson, music teacher, tickled the funny bones with a musical about Reindeer flight school. They performed this all three nights followed by grade levels singing Christmas songs.

Pre-K had a night to themselves as they entertained their audience with favorite traditional songs of the season. Each class had their own costumes. Elves, reindeer and snowmen stole the show with their program!

It’s that time year when the weather is great and we all need get outside, get some

fresh air and get in shape. Start now to fulfill your New Year’s Resolution to get fit in 2017!

Reistration is now open for the Rudolph 5K Fun Run that takes place at the Chiefland Christmas Festival on Saturday, Dec. 10.

The first 50 people to register will get a T-Shirt, goodie bag and completion medal just for participating!. There will also be prizes for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners in both the adult and child categories.

This year the festival moves across U.S. Highway 19 from the Train Depot Park. The entire Festival will take place on the west side of US 19, including parking.

The entrance to the parking field is from Park Avenue West. If you are headed south from the commercial area of Chiefland, please turn right at Park Avenue and then left into the parking field, which will be marked.

Chiefland Christmas Festivalgoers will have a chance to start experiencing the change that will come about when the city builds the new Chiefland Trailhead Park on South Main Street/U.S. Highway 19, right across from the Old Train Depot Park.

That’s because on Saturday, Dec. 10, the six-acre field will be the new site for the Chiefland Christmas Festival this year. The move across the street will end the necessity for festivalgoers to cross U.S. Highway 19 to go from the parking area to the activities. Bring the family and come out for a whole day of fun.

The Town of Bronson will be hosting the Annual Levy County Veterans Day Parade on Friday, Nov. 11.

The parade will begin at 11 a.m. at the Bronson Post Office. The parade will proceed down U.S. 27A/Hathaway Avenue to State Road 24 and then heads west to Picnic Street where it will go left into the back entrance to James H. Cobb Park.

There will be a ceremony honoring veterans at the park with speakers including Bronson Mayor Bruce Greenlee and the Town Council, Levy County Judge James "Tim" Browning and officials and other veterans.

It took a little bit of Halloween, the hard work of volunteers, the support of the Suwannee Valley and Chiefland Rotary Clubs, the donations of businesses and an old warehouse to make Christmas a little brighter this year for some Chiefland area families.

This unusual recipe of using one holiday celebration to fund another is the genius idea of the Chiefland Police Department officers and staff who created a Halloween Haunted House in the old, vacant 9,000 square foot warehouse owned by Central Florida Electric Cooperative.
